now, just to orient you, canada's the north of us. but. but canada. in 1861 was not what we think of canada today. it was not a transcontinental country. it was not united a confederation or dominion yet there was a union between two of the provinces. one was what we now call ontario to the west, the other quebec. but in the 1861, they were known as canada west and canada, east. now you're saying what? the maritimes? well, the maritimes not part of the canadian union. they are separate. colin is of the british empire. you have prince edward island, nova scotia, new brunswick and, neouland. so they had no common connection except through british empire and canada. the union of canada that canada does, as they said at that time, was something that was just a just had a domestic they had a legislature in which had authority over things within canada, such as education but they in terms of foreign policy or military defense. that was entrusted to the british empire. so they're kind of half way colonies at this point. and the individual of the maritimes ar

we are canada. canada strong. thank you very much. i would be pleased to take your questions. >> mr. trump did not walk back any tariffs put in place so far. does that mean your call with him last week was not as productive? p.m. carney: i think that you are right, and as i just described, so, regarding fentanyl, steel, aluminum, and the automotive sector, there is no reduction of the tariffs. however, we did make some progress with the president regarding the -- let's call it the reciprocal tariffs. so, we did away with a series of poor agreements. secondly, we agree the president and myself, that early in may there will be the start of comprehensive negotiations regarding canada and the united states. this is an actual progress, because we cannot do it for each issue separately. we do have -- we need to have a negotiation between two sovereign countries. you're right. the court tariffs with respect to fentanyl, automobiles, steel and aluminum remain in place. it respect to an enormous series of trade measures announced yesterday, we

canada stood with us on 9/11. canada has stood side-by-side with u.s. troops in every war we have been in. they have fought with all your troops. they played with our troops. they have died with our troops in every war since the war of 1812 -- they have bled with our troops. yet, we will make them come in through an emergency exit to the library. this calls to mind memories that i have of i south where i was born where certain kind of people could not go in the same door as other kind of people. this is no way to treat an ally. this is no way to treat a friend. as i conclude, i see other colleagues here ready to speak. i'm happy to say that the senate joint resolution has picked up the support of a whole lot of people outside this chamber. this morning, the u.s. chamber of commerce weight in -- weighed in. i'm going to read from a letter they have sent to centers. the terrace being imposed on imports from canada and mexico, america's top two trading partners, are inflicting real harm on american workers, companies, and farmers. tariffs are taxes paid by

but in canada, the motto of canada is law order and good government. and that's the motto of the mounted police. and because this is a system that's not fully democratic, their primary assignment is to try to keep control over the settler population, to keep them from killing indians, provoking massive wars. now, still, canada's committed to the proposition that indians going to have to lose their lands to allow settlement to come. but they're trying manage it in a less bloody. so the creation of, the mounted police does come about this period where canada's trying to expand westward from ontario. they're trying to bring in manitoba and bringing in manitoba as a contested because most the people living in manitoba were native peoples or they were mixed race people called the mighty and the mighty are quite politically they have a very formidable leader named louis reale. and for about a year they create their own government and are in resisting with armed force to of canada into manitoba. so part of the process of bringing them in is a compromise legis

not just for, for canada, but for canada on the world stage. but firstly, i think it means that you're seeing canadians incredibly united. yes, there is some political division and polarized ation between 2 big parties with different messages. but across the board with regard to our position on the world stage, our sovereignty are of what we believe in our values. i think millions of millions of kids are united and are and are engaged in this conversation politically, but also in their daily lives. and of course, because that affects the economy in so many ways. and i think you're also seeing canada rethink now how it positions itself on the world stage as we've talked about with regard to other countries. how can we increase our ties with the rest of the world? how can we trade more with other countries? how can we be less dependent on one big market that we're physically attached to? and i think that there's a, a lot of openness from all canadians, regardless of political stripe, to be, to be thinking about new opportunities and to be creativ

humility - it's canada, after all. ambition - it's canada, after all. and unity - it's canada. cheering and applause. i love you right back, right back. laughter. these are good values. these are canadian values. yep, yep! values that i will do my best... i'm just getting worked up here. these are values that i will do my best to uphold every day as your prime minister. you betcha. i... ok, well, you have to judge after this next section because i am going to begin... i am going to begin with the value of humility. and by admitting that i have much to be humble about. that's true. applause. over my long... that's not an applause line, it's just a statement of fact. over my long career, i have made many mistakes and i will make more. but i commit to admitting them openly, to correcting them quickly, and always learning from them. cheering and applause. you know, humility underscores the importance of governing as a team in cabinet and in caucus and working constructively with all parties across parliament. of working in partnership with the provinces and the territories, and wit

it's over 10 percent of canada's economy. and in terms of who they would like to have, leave the country. that's a bit of a loaded question. so canada, being a very big country, has a variety of different types of energy, everything ranging from lithium extraction to new killer energy to oil and gas. if you're talking about the more traditional oil and gas sectors, that would be the conservative, partially 0 emissions electrification. you're probably looking at the support moving towards the liberal and left of center parties. okay. the us president donald trump, he has complained a lot about the trade surplus with your country. and does that make sense to you or no. and it doesn't make sense for a few reasons. for stop surpluses and deficits are not a leading indicator of the health of the trading relationship between 2 countries. i'm not going to go into the reasons for that, but that is a well established fact. when you come to canada and the united states, we have a deficit with the united states or a surplus as the next

having radio canada enriches all of canada. we need quebec. we need the french language, and we will protect them. >> for the first time since 2011, there are no women here as leaders. i met with a young woman. this is a very short clip that met earlier this week. do you have a question for leaders, something you are concerned about? >> in canada, the status of women. >> you are worried about things moving backward? >> yes, that there could be a rollback of women's rights by some parties. that concerns me. >> my question -- would you commit to making sure that there are no women's rights that are rollback? for example, would you push for having free contraception as is already the case in some provinces? is that something you would commit to gap starting with mr. poilievre. >> we will not commit to that. we will protect women's rights. i have a message for canadian women who are watching. we will not pass legislation that will restrict the right to abortion. that has been our policy for 20 years and it will not change. that is a guarantee that

not just for canada but canada and the united states. thank you. >> general. if you could just hold that. we'll go. >> general, i'm james smith. i quoted your minister of national defense. the military was in a death spiral. it will not come to light for the decade and make the 2%. go through all forces. can you address that and the ability of the canadian military to reenforce a contingency. this article said, in addition to those two forces the only other thing from canada is two squadents of air force fighters, is that the extent? why is it difficult to get the 2% in the ninth largest economy in the world? >> thank you. what i can tell you is the military relationship is incredibly strong. i spent time with the commander of u.s. army europe. i was out in i spent time with leadership including randy george. the relationship remains strong. i have confidence in that relationship. you spoke about the threat in the high north. the threat is definitely increased opportunity and as we see china increasingly being involved. what are they using the information they

they have voting to put canada 1st instead of 51st. but i'm joined now by jason language, jason set up and runs the top level canadian business conference, the energy round table. that means he has the year of the leaders of canada's energy industry place. and it's good to have you with this on this friday evening. if you could give us an idea of the role that the energy sector plays in the canadian economy and who the link to the housing sector in terms of its contribution to the g, d p, it's over 10 percent of canada's economy. and in terms of who they would like to have, leave the country. that's a bit of a loaded question. so canada, being a very big country, has a variety of different types of energy, everything ranging from lithium extraction to new killer energy to oil and gas. if you're talking about the with your country, and does that make sense to you? you know, and it doesn't make sense for a few reasons. for stop surpluses and deficits are not a leading indicator of the health of the trading relationship between 2 countrie

a lot of their apples get sold in canada, exported to canada. since there has never been a one-sided trade war in world history, as soon as the u.s. takes steps canada puts on retaliatory tariffs. they go after ag. he was going to talk about the declining market for american apples. everywhere you go we all have stories. i have a little bakery in northern virginia, they have three locations. the owner said you have to do something about these tariffs. i said april, you just have a small bakery, how do the tariffs affect you? aluminum pie tins. they come from canada. if you raise the price by $.25, nobody has to buy apple pie, a lot of people stop buying apple pie. the smallest businesses get hit by this and they often have the least ability to deal with the excess prices. with that we are glad to open it up and take questions. >> even if this resolution does pass it does not do anything to overturn the tariffs. is this just meant to send a message to the white house? >> it has to go to the house. if it passes in the senate then we have to work o

together we will build a canada where the our values, we will build canada strong, can a debt free, canada forever. that was the speech of mark carney, following his election as canada's prime minister, so he now has the mandate to lead. of course he has been prime minister of canada for several months already but that was because he was elected leader of the liberal party following the resignation of justin trudeau, but now he has the electoral mandate, having won the canadian election. it is not clear yet what the final numbers are so we don't know what the liberal party will have in terms of the number of seats in the canadian parliament and that will be a critical calculation as we go forward here, but before he spoke, his wife gave a very strong speech, talking about his skill set and how he is the right man now to lead canada. his first two questions, who is ready to stand up for canada with me, who is ready to build canada strong? talking about the changes that are needed but the canadian values remaining, those being humility, ambition and unity. he made a lot of strong comments ab

canada first, canada always, let's bring it home. thank you very much, canada. cheering and applause pierre poilievre, it is not a speech of defeat, it is a message of hope to all of his followers thanking them for all of their support and saying change will take time, i have heard your stories and we must have hope. joining me now is our economics editor, faisal islam. you talked about they having the argument on all the economic issues and now mark carney is going to have to make good on those promises, it spent the last 204i was with him, what is his mood? when we look at those pictures of the opposition leader, one has to keep on coming back to he was 30 points ahead in the polls, they were saying, not him personally but certainly members and colleagues of his shadow ministerial team, were not just measuring the curtains, they were measuring the carpets in the government offices in six months ago so it has been an extraordinary turnaround. it is worth restating we don't quite know, we think it is heading for a minority government but still pretty close in te

build one in canada.o build the parts in canada. and that went away and lost a lot of jobs. but at the end of the day we still had our industry because of the quality and productivity that our workforce has. i think we might need to go back to that, because if the united states is going to step back from our trade agreement, we've got to look and make sure we protect workers in canada. nse only weight we will be able to do it, if that's the case. unfortunately, i was hoping that he would change his mind, i was hoping he would look at canada and the relationship we've had over 100 years and look at it differently, but that's not the case. >> so does that mean i'm at do think canada first are canada making alliances with other countries that are not the u.s.? >> i think you still want to make sure we do what we can to support both sides of the border. listen, we have a relationship like no other, especially in my city and my community. we only have a little river between us. we share everything together. he

that's how canada works.nother point, if i may, we are starting to see cooperation agreements coming into place with the province to have one project, one evaluation, and that's going to accelerate the approval of major projects in canada. >> if our ports become tricky in terms of imports, what would you do? >> he will not self-destruct the american economy, and americans think that canadian oil is in their backyard, but there is no rule that stops oil from being built or circulated, but quebecers did not want it. quebec is the perfect place to develop a green energy market. why would we invest in oil that does not have economic benefits for quebec if it means we still pay more at the pump? >> two quick comments. you are slightly behind. we are talking about the environment and public transit as well. >> we support public transit. we are against projects that are bad for the environment. >> so you are against the third lane? >> exactly. we support the tramway. one solution to address the climate crisis while

as polls have closed we can go live to canada. as polls have closed we can go live to canada. joining me live is our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. it's been a warm spring day here in ottawa on a day of voting right across this country. the election is been described as one is the most consequential in canada's history. the country is said to be at a crossroads, not just choosing the next prime minister and the next party that will dominate in the canadian parliament but also choosing a direction in an election that's been overshadowed by the threats coming from the country next door for the president trump not just imposing the kind of switching terrors that other countries are really fun but a very specific threat to take over canada and to make it the 51st state. if there is one thing that all leaders in this election agree upon that is not going to happen. when they say that they say it in capital letters. all polls indicate that there are two clear front runners in this election. let's look at both of them. one is the beggar turned politician, mark kearney

the former bank of england chief has won canada's election. but can he protect the country's economy in the face of us tariffs as some argue his victory is already part of donald trump's legacy. speaking of which. the golden age of america has only just begun. it be like nothing that has ever seen before. tariffs - trade tensions - and the worst wall street welcome for a president since the 1970s. we assess the first 100 days - of trump two point zero. welcome to business today, i'm mark lobel. we start in canada where as you've been hearing the prime minister, mark carney, has declared victory in the country's general election - seen as one of the most consequential in its history. for mr carney it has been a gamble that has paid off. he called an early election after winning the contest to replace justin trudeau as liberal leader. and he bet - as the former head of both the bank of england and the bank of canada - that voters would trust his financial skills to take on president trump who has slapped steep tariffs on canadian goods and sugge

are to canada. and we import from canada as well. and when the tariffs get reciprocated by our canadian friends, after this ridiculous behavior by president trump, then that's going to affect all rhode islanders. we buy a lot of energy, for instance, from canada. and that's going to raise costs for rhode island families. it's a direct hit to people's pocketbooks. as has been pointed out, this is just a shady way to hit americans in the pocketbook, to raise revenue, so that this phony baloney budget resolution we're about to have to deal with can open up revenues that they can then use as a justification for lowering taxes for the billionaires and the big corporations who already pay way too little in taxes. some billionaires pay no income taxes at all. the corporate share of america's revenue has gone from about 30% of america's revenue down to single digits. that's just a huge sucking sound pulling out of america's revenue the revenue of corporate entities, and it's not the mom and pop flower store

here in canada, of course. here in canada, here in alberta. you're welcome to come back. it's beautiful that time of year. it's fantastic. it is actually fantastic. just one last question. central bankers... yes. you know, there's jobs, there's careers after leading central banks. there's careers after journalism, faisal! it's amazing. but, yeah - central banker, prime minister, which is better? there's a time and place for everything. and i was privileged to be governor of the bank of england, governor of the bank of canada at a crucial time, in both respects. and, of course, i'm looking for the honour of being prime minister of canada at a critical time for our country. thank you, prime minister. thank you very much. cheers. prime minister mark kearney, savouring his victory, looking ahead to where he will take canada next as it faces not just the frets of president trump but also very deep-seated economic and political problems here in canada. our economic editor faisal is on joins us. you knew mark carney well as a central banker, now you know him as a politician. is

their homes comes from refineries in canada. irving oil, a canadian-based company has 150 gas stations in maine. and, surprise two thirds of the state's gas, diesel, and heating oil. this includes, mr. president, 100% of the jet fuel used by the air national guard base in bangor. consumers and businesses in maine and the u.s. department of defense, our own department of defense would bear the cost of that canadian entergy tariff. mr. president, canadian tariffs would also harm many maine farmers, lobster men, and fishermen. according to the main potato board, 90% of the protests -- potash, the fertilizer used for growing potatoes is imported from canada. fertilizer account for 11% of total input costs to grow our great maine fertilizer accounts for 11% of total input costs to grow our great maine potatoes. tariffs on imports like fertilizer will only hurt maine potato growers. i know these potato growers. i picked potatoes. the different facilities have specialized equipment to process potatoes for different uses -- hashbrowns i

so it is impossible for canada to have all those people come into canada.ebec to receive all those people, and in quebec we have the language and values and secularity of the state issue, which is very important. so i say pose, pose, pose, let's do things properly. let's receive immigrants in an orderly fashion and successfully as a measure of respect for them also. >> steve: mr. poilievre, you wanted a word. >> pierre poilievre: i speak to families all the time who are terrified by the scourge of drugs and illegal guns, and we know those guns are not grandpa's hunting rifle, so when the liberals try to ban hunting rifles, they are really going after the wrong people. 90% of guns that come into -- that are used in crime are smuggled illegally over the porous liberal-run borders. >> jagmeet singh: the border that you cut the border officers. you literally cut the border officers. >> pierre poilievre: actually, if i could, the police actually endorsed -- the police in barrie, in peel, in sault ste. marie have all endorsed me because they know that i will go a

six time zones across canada. the polls have so far closed in some areas - on the east coast, the maritime provinces on atlantic standard time. we are in ottawa in the province of ontario and polls will close in 1.5 hours. by ten o'clock eastern time all of the polling stations will be closed and the accounting will start. we are expecting it to be a very quick count and expecting a large turnout if the advance voting is anything to go by. a record 7 million canadians voted early. it is a measure of this moment in canadian history - seen as one of the most important elections in the lifetime of canadians, facing not just the threats i president trump to take over this country, but facing real problems at home, as that ramming incident in vancouver that so shocked and saddened canadians has underlined. well, all of the poles leading up to today put the prime minister of canada at the front and ahead of his main challenger. let's look at the two main front-runners. they include mark carney, the former banker and nov

with our special coverage of canada's election. mark carney's liberal party is projected to win canada's election and form the next government. according to cbc it's not yet clear whether his party will win a majority. this is the scene at the liberal party's head quarters. the election has been dominated by donald trump's trade war. i'm sally bundock in london. the other main stories: power is restored to 90 percent of mainland spain as it and portugal struggle with the chaos caused by the sweeping outage. and a first-of-its-kind satellite will launch today - designed to "weigh" the world's forests. welcome to ottawa. it is now midnight. the midnight hour in canada, the end of an extraordinary day in canadian political history. the liberal party led by the novice mark carney, banker turned prime minister has scored an extraordinary political upset. mark carney's liberal party is projected to win a fourth term in office. mark carney will remain as prime minister. that has meant that he has won over his closest political rival pierr

canada is america's closest ally, not a rival. making everything americans buy from canada for some bogus reason is in the words of "the dumbest trade war in history." there are 8 million american jobs that depend on trade with canada. canada is the biggest export market for 32 states. it provides raw materials that often farmers need to grow their crops. u.s. farmers cannot replace 90% of the material that comes from canada, definitely not overnight. the only choice is higher prices. again, mr. president, higher prices paid for by americans, so the stuff we buy from canada gets more expensive. on top of that, response canada has already slapped tariffs on a whole host of crops. egg -- ag crops, dairy, manufactured goods, the list goes on and on. small businesses and farmers are losing sales as we speak because of the weird obsession of the trump administration with attacking our northern neighbor. plunging our economy into recession because of the trump desire to annex canada is just bizarre, even by washington d c standards. con

so it is impossible for canada to have all those people come into canada.ebec to receive all those people, and in quebec we have the language and values and secularity of the state issue, which is very important. so i say pose, pose, pose, let's do things properly. let's receive immigrants in an orderly fashion and successfully as a measure of respect for them also. >> steve: mr. poilievre, you wanted a word. >> pierre poilievre: i speak to families all the time who are terrified by the scourge of drugs and illegal guns, and we know those guns are not grandpa's hunting rifle, so when the liberals try to ban hunting rifles, they are really going after the wrong people. 90% of guns that come into -- that are used in crime are smuggled illegally over the porous liberal-run borders. >> jagmeet singh: the border that you cut the border officers. you literally cut the border officers. >> pierre poilievre: actually, if i could, the police actually endorsed -- the police in barrie, in peel, in sault ste. marie have all endorsed me because they know that i will go a

president trump has betrayed canada. he's betrayed canada. i intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister. when justin trudeau resigned this year, his liberal party, after a decade in power and buffeted by a cost of living crisis, seemed doomed for defeat. mr carney, his successor - seen here at a memorial for this weekend's deadly attack on a festival in vancouver - became prime minister without ever having fought a national election. your poll is 154, so you're going to go to your right. now, though, as he faces the polls, he appears to have been given a boost, with the us president's tariff war and threat to annexe canada weighing heavily on voters' minds. you wouldn't go to america again? that's it? not right now. as long as he's in power, absolutely not. and i'll probably give it a couple of years after that to see how the dust settles. just as polls opened, mr trump intervened yet again, urging canadians to vote for him. "elect the man," he wrote, "with the strength to cut taxes "and boost the military, but only if canada becomes

here in canada, of course. here in canada, here in alberta. you're welcome to come back. it's beautiful that time of year. it is actually fantastic. just one last question. central bankers... yes. you know, there's jobs, there's careers after leading central banks. there's careers after journalism, faisal! it's amazing. but, yeah - central banker, prime minister, which is better? there's a time and place for everything. and i was privileged to be governor of the bank of england, governor of the bank of canada at a crucial time, in both respects. and, of course, i'm looking for the honour of being prime minister of canada at a critical time for our country. thank you, prime minister. thank you very much. cheers. yeah, he was here at a critical time, through the banking crisis. joining me now is dame deanne julius, a distinguished fellow at chatham house and a founder member of the monetary policy committee of the bank of england. bankers make good politicians? are there transferable skills, do you think? we don't have much expense of making that transition, but i think if

the problem is not in canada. even if the problem is valid, even if that is something we all agree on, you can have a country ruled by emergency. you can have a country without separation of powers, without checks and balances, madison put it this way. he said we would put ambition against ambition. that all men, and friendly women, are motivated by self-interest and the self accumulation or aggrandizement of power, so we would limit their power by pitting ambition against ambition, giving some power to the house, some to the senate and some to the president. there would be checks and balances and jostling for power. but we would check and balance each other. part of the problem we face today with this emergency is congress has abdicated their power, not just recently. not just for the spread of the dark president. it is a bipartisan problem. i am a republican and a supporter of donald trump, but it is a bipartisan problem. i don't care if the president is a republican or democrat. i don't want to live under emerg

canada.what donald trump did to attack canada in this unprovoked way without any justification really felt like a betrayal. so, now canadians are right to say that we don't really trust donald trump at this point and we cannot really have a lot of faith in him. when it comes to arctic sovereignty and security we need to make decisions in our best interest and no longer be so dependent or reliant on the u.s.. that is what i would advocate for. making sure we are resilient and dependent and less dependent on the u.s.. steve: mr. blanchet, what would you like to see for industries affected by tariffs, many in quÉbec. mr. blanchet: i try not to speak english in montreal, but we should not underestimate the threat president trump poses to the canadian economy and mexican economy. the economy of quÉbec is built differently. the challenges are not the same. the necessity it -- for quÉbec to have its own voice is important. the difference between quÉbec and canada is different in terms of economic po

we will build canada strong, canada free canada forever. b like canada. thank you very much. he does not economy of music. when the canadian election story, victor, it seemed well a 1000000 miles away at the start of the warning that the old relationship with united states is eva. that is our new reality. we have to look out for ourselves. you said that america, once orlando results is, was for our country. and the donald trump is trying to break into america communities that will never ever happen the best brains on 100 new joins as live now from the canadian capital of authorized so joint, as i say, an extraordinary victory that nobody expected. just a few short months ago. that's right shortly after the conservative leader pier fully engages the concession speech. more incarnate came out and declared victory. but the person he was running against all of this campaign. and tonight again seemed not to be any of the other candidates. but the president of the united states, donald trump, he said as he is at many times throughout this campaign, that america wants to own candida

and threats to turn canada into the 51st dates. there are two front runners - the liberal party run by mark carney which has been in power for the last decade and the conservatives led by pierre poilievre. and in other news - electricity supplies are gradually being restored to parts of spain and portugal after a vast outage cut power to both countries. many are spending the night in darkness. president zelensky reacts with scepticism to the declaration of a three-day ceasefire by russia, calling at another attempt at manipulation. welcome to ottawa, the capitol of canada. a day in which canadians have now decided. all polls have now closed and counting is under way to find out which party will dominate the parliament you see behind me and which will provide the next prime minister. all party leaders had been casting their ballots today in what is being described as one of the most consequential elections in canada's history. it is an election which has been dominated by threats from across the border. president donald trump's tari

now he's on the costs, but becoming the prime minister of canada. so we will find out, however, he does have a very strong track record. he's clearly very well connected in international affairs of such of that nature knows a lot of people in the business community. so i do think he would do well qualified to deal with president trump and these types of issues. however, the issue of these, this, these trade actions and these economic actions that are being taken by the president and his administration, will, at the end of the day be resolved domestically this, this, the, the, the pressures that will come to bear on the white house as a result that future canadian prime minister can have more to look beyond the united states for a moment. you also play the director role indigo. sions, of the european union candidate, a free trade agreement, as a representative of the private sector is europe, in your opinion, still a meaningful hedge for canada, against us, instability, us unpredictability. you know, that's a fascinating question. and the short answe

let's take a closer look at the electorate here in canada. i am joined by one of our candidate reporters, nadine yousif, who has been crisscrossing the country in events of these polls. joining me now is nam kiwanuka, an anchor with tv ontario. thank you very much for joining us. i saw you posting on social media when you first cast your ballot in the advance polls. you describe yourself as ugandan canadian and you talked about how privileged you felt to be able to be voting in canada. tell us about that. for sure. the report that was just on on syrian canadians, i think i have felt a lot of that, because i was born during his civil war and a lot of people in the country that i was born in are still fighting to have that privilege to vote. and i actually took my children with me because i think it's import for them to see that it is a civic responsibility to participate in the vote, but also to acknowledge that we live in a country yes, we do have a lot of challenges, but we live in a country where we can vote and we can actually speak about
